He Didn't Gall Araiu.

A Brooklyn young man with mod
est bank account and bright prospects.
but without the remotest desire to be-
come benedict, at least at present,
thinks he met the great crisis of his
life this summer. 81 won't men,
ton any names," he said, ''as l SIM
ply tell the story as joke on me.
You know l want to have my fling. |
like to take young ladies to the thea
ire and opera and to dancing recep-
tions. l am particularly fond of hay
Ing bright young creature beside me
when l take an afternoon drive.
Well, met charming young woman
of about so at Saratoga. Her folks
were there. On my third drive with
her we chatted quite affect onately
and as we parted for the evening she
tenderly said: DO you care if l tel
my mamma of your affection for me
1 am 20 yeas old, and if l live to be
so never expect to be fioored as was
when that question came creeping in
my ears. She, bless her, knew that a
man can only be happy with cha m
ing woman for his life companion, but
l wasn't quite ready to be convinced.
l stammered that perhaps it would be
advisable to defer informing her
mamma until l called again. l left
the springs the next morning on the
first train, and haven't seen my fair
questioner since. ."-[New York Sun.

The Secret of closed Curtains.

A debate arose the other day in a
group of society women who had been
discussing certain code of etiquette,
whether it was ignorance or bad
breeding, or the reverse, on the part
of a visitor, to open the window OF
raise the window-shade of the room
into which he or she had been ush-
cred. One lady thought such an in
reference the height of rudeness
another was inclined to excuse the
act on the plea that the person might
be faint or blind and thiri bluntly
declared that should she come into
her own drawing-room or elsewhere
in her house and find that visitor
had taken such liberty she would
turn on her heel and instantly leave
the room! The discussion was reach
ing warmer point when small per-
son who had been nursing her doll in
the corner of the sofa lifted up her
head and said: 80, yes; know why
mamma wants to keep the curtains
down." "And why is it, darling"
asked an injudicious guest. because
she says the light is bad for her make
up" Tableau! Edith is dispatched
to the nursery and the ladies are re-
quested to prove. for themselves il
there is any makeup" about the

matron's beautiful complexion

SOME fellow is suffering from an
attack Of acute anxiety to learn what
is the matter with the HERALD
on the police matter-whether
or not some one has muzzled
it. Out of pure compassion we
will deign to say: Well, no. 1t is
not in the habit of being muzzled,
caioled nor bullied. Neither does it
90 off on the half-cock on some er-
parte statement. This journal is Civ.
ing the news on the police matter as
on all others; but it is giving
the news from the authorized
channels of the public offices,
and not interviews with Tom, Dick
Harry and Jim, who have their side
of the story to tell. No fellow is grind
ing his axe on our stone. The HERALr
knows thing or two about many oi
those in question, but does not foul itf
sheets with nauseous scandals. What
does not subserve public interest il
best buried. But the possession oi
knowledge is at all times fine cue as
te when to act in any premises.

Our greatly esteemed neighbor, the
Times, does not approve of the Ana
helm Gazene speaking in compliment
tary terms of the Herald. We notice
some of our exchanges giving our
Fort street neighbor bit of taffy now
and again, but we do not object in the
least. Besides, if we did, our objec-
tions would probably be overruled by
the Court giving the opinion. If some
of our neighbors fall in love with us it
is no fault of ours. We did not
set our cap to "mash" them. 1t is no
fault of the "mashee" either. How
could any we'll regulated journalistic
mind fail to fall in love with a paper
like ours? We are worthy of any
amount of admiration. The people
are as greatly pleased with the course
OF this journal as are our exchanges.
But what are our rivals "going to do
about it?

s'THE Son of his Father" line OF
policy as outlined by the recent New
York election, has been about as
completely set at rest forever, as the
voice d the people can settle it.
Take the vote in New York City.
Col. Grant received only $4,000 votes
in the municipality. Last year, Dam
iels received $4,000; and in 1885,
Davenport got $1,000. Ayear earlier,
Blaine's vote was $4,000 in the city,
while in 1880, Gar6eld's was 81 600.
An average of these figures would
have elected Grant with the vote
he got in the State outside Of New
York City. 1t is we'll known
that the postoffice in that city is still
under Republican control. The same
is true of many other Federal offices
It really does not seem as if the pos
session of the offices has so much to
do with the voters as it did a few
years ago. In 1885 the vote OF Ne"
York city was: Democratic, 123, ,6O3
Republican, 1888. This year the
vote stood: Democratic, 1l0,272; Re
publican, 5S,9 ,991; George, 81, ,l23. The
ratios of tue two National
parties were: Total increase of vote
in 1887 over that OF 1885, II ,4l9. Tota
decrease of Democratic vote in the la
ter year over the former, 1881
Total decrease of Republican vote by
the same comparison 1888. With 8
much smaller total vote to lose from
the Republicans lost twenty-five pei
cent more than their opponents. The
vote seems to have been moderately
full one. only 1925 short OF two
years before when a Governor was
elected. The total Republican deficit
scarcely went to the Prohi
bition candidate. Then again,
remember this is the vote
in the city where Nicoll's name on
the Republican ticket is supposed to
have drawn away some Democratic
votes. Irving Hall made a detection
to that cause. What is the explana-
ton of all this? Did George really get
more Republican than Democratic
votes, after all? Many prescient poll
ticians have all along maintained that
such an outcome might be looked for.
But the Republican managers failed
to take the tip. 1t really looks as il
they had been hoist on their own
petard.

Young Criminals.

Most criminals are young. It is sell
dom that grave cline, provided it
be the first, is committed after the
age of 80. A careful statistician has
proved that of the entire male popula-
tion of England and Wales the largest
proportion of criminals is found to be
between the ages Of 20 and %. Five
times as many criminals are commit
ted in the five years between these
limits as in the ten years between 30
and 60. Dividing the whole popula-
ton into groups of those from 10 to Is
years, from Is to 20, from 20 to 25,
from 25 to 80, from 30 to 40, from 40
to so, and from so to go. it is found
that from the age of 20 the tendency
to crime decreases at each successive
term 33 per cent in the case Of women
and 25 per cent in the case of men,

to do any good must be done right
here. A whole ink factory spread
over the Bay City would accomplish
nothing for our cause.
The San Bernardino Indea wisely

THE San Bernardino Inde1 wisely
says:
A Democratic exchange claims that
because both branches of the New
York Legislature are Republican,
while the State has given small plu-
rality for the Democratic ticket, that
the legislative result is due to Re.
publican gerrymander of the State.
In view of the fact that the State has
been Democratic much of the time for
years, and nobody has attempted to
correct such wrong if it existed, we
think the statement is too absurd to
require answer. The fact is the State
is Republican outside of little terri
tory in and around the city. Here
the Democrats who are elected get inn
mense majorities, vastly larger than
they would have if the majorities we're
not required to swamp the Republican
majorities throughout the State; but
while these votes count as against Re-
publican candidates for State offices
they have no power to prevent the
election OF Republicans from the coun-
try districts, and so the Legislature
has a majority OF that party.
That is far from settling the ques-
ton as to the gerrymandering OF New
York State, but it is quite efficacious
in settling what the Inder knows
about Empire State politics. 1t is
we'll known that the people of that
State are electing their Senators and
Assemblymen on districting made
many, many years ago. During the
period in question the population has
grown extraordinarily. Time and
again the Democratic State ticket has
been elected, but the Legislature
has been Republican through
all vicissitudes SO long that
the memory of man hardly "runnetl
to the contrary" When had the EN-
pire State Democrat in the United
States Senate? Nobody has at
tempted to correct such a wrong!
Why, when have not the Democrats
of that State exhausted all the lega
forms to compel redistricting of the
State? But the overwhelming Repub
lican majority in both houses of the
Legislature have always found way
to prevent this. 1t is notorious that {
State whose population has increased
as in New York, should be redistrictet
after so long period. If the Repub
lican Legislature has not a "sof
thing of it as now mapped out, VIII!
will they not allow it to be redis
tricted?
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-11-22

EFFORTS to set our esteemed contem-
poraries right in an important matter
of constitutional law, seem to be
cloves labor lost" The impression
was created by means of dispatch to
one OF our neighbors, that in the event
of failure to elect President by the
electoral college, that is by the people'
and the consequent reference OF this
duty to the House of Representatives,
that then the Democratic party will be
able to name their man, if they seat
two contesting Congressman in Cali
fornia and one in Indiana. This is not
the case. AS the House will stand
when organized upon the face of the
returns, the Republicans will have a
majority of the members in twenty
States, and the Democrats will have
like majority in seventeen. New
Hampshire is a tie, one OF
her ten representatives being a Re-
publican and the other Democrat.
By the indicated change in the two
States named above, the Republicans
would have a majority in eighteen
States, and would therefore cast that
many votes for the President; the
Democrats would control nineteen
States, and cast as many votes for
their candidate. But nineteen votes
will not elect. To do that requires a
net majority of all the votes in the
House-that is twenty. There are
thirty y-eight States in the Union. Each
State has one vote in the matter un-
der discussion, and nineteen Is not a
net majority Of thirty-eight. That is
the whole question.

Los ANGELES merchants and busi-
ness men generally need not be in
formed ofthe hostile animus devel-
oped toward their section by a very
large proportion of the press in San
Francisco, and all through the bay
counties. They are quite in posses
sion of the fact that where really de-
termined fight was not entered upon
in the columns of our esteemed con
temporaries of that section, that a
more than lukewarmness was mani
tested. If by any chance one OF them
did say good word alb ut us, it was
in the meanest of all modes of war
fare-that of damming with
faint praise. But that was
in the glorious summer weather when
these friends had no favors to ask OF
our people. The season has changed,
and with the first lowering skies of
approaching winter come pumpkin
pies. and a smell of roast turkey,
albeit far away. These things, OF
course, are all reminders that the
holidays are close at hand, and with
their approach comes the thought Of
holiday numbers of papers; and oi
course, the great exigency in such an
enterprise is large list of advertise
ments at good paying rates
Presto, all is changed! The
streets are full of a hungry crowd
of drummers for San Francisco New
Years editions. These people are az
sweet and sunny as our own warm
cline and freshly blooming orange
blossoms. There is not word SAID
about the certainty of the "boom
busting" They are the most enthu-
siastic "boomers" of us all, and no
doubt will be until after the holidays
are over. Angelefios will consult
both their interest and their dignity,
by seeing that this hungry horde is
sent home with flea in their ear and
nothing in their pockets. Advertising

HERALD is peculiarly interested in
the "length of our cigars and drinks"
This is an error. Our interest is not
peculiar in this subject, and we will
prove this proposition by the counter
proposition that the HERALD, or the
HERALD staff has no more interest in
the delightful theme, seductive as it
it, than has the Express or its staff.
The public are requested to act as
referee in this dispute. That journal
pretends to disapprove of "cigars and
drinks" 1t dare not state its views
on this subject in plain terms.

THE march OF civilization no where
marks greater progress than in the
changed condition of the Mantuan
apothecary, with his back hung with
wretchedness, of the time of Romeo

apothecaries do not need to sell pois-
ons for unlawful purposes for gold to
buy food. They merely put up pre-
scriptions at $5 piece, and reach the
same end more successfully and le-
pally.

An Eng lish Girl ON the American
Girl. IT,

1 Imagine that American girls think
more of their dresses than our own
do, but they make the fatal mistake
of "dressing up" l mean that they
are dowdies at one time and elaborate
ly gotten up at others. They do not
show 80 we'll at breakfast, for instance,
as an English girl does. There is a
want of finish about the coiffure-and,
indeed, the general outline of their
figures. A really pretty English girl
never looks more charming than when
she appears in the morning, fresh
from the toilet. Her American cousin
is limp at breakfast, and imparts no
idea of freshness to the beholder.
But then, when she is attired for the
promenade she is smarter and better
throughout than are any of us, as a
rule.-[London Truth.
